Chapter 52: Aerial Strike

The Su-20 has a total of two flight groups, each with three flight squadrons and four aircraft per flight squadron, which is already the limit of what Basra airbase can sort.

This flight is based on the route of entering at high altitude, attacking at low altitude, and returning at high altitude, so that the combat radius extends here, and it can stay in the air for 20 minutes, which is enough to hit Iran's armored division, and after 20 minutes, it will be carried out by Mi-24 Hind.

After the MiG-21 flew overhead, it also began to hover over the swamp, vigilantly watching the sky, but their confidence was not so strong, as long as they found the signal of the Panda's powerful AN/AWG-9 pulsed Doppler radar, their best choice was to abandon the slow-moving Su-20 and flee for their lives.

Seeing the armored forces on the ground in the distance, the Su-20 dropped the auxiliary fuel tanks and prepared to enter the attack route and carry out the attack mission.

Although there is a vast sky, you can fly freely, but if you want to bomb a target on the ground, you can't just do it.

According to the training, when approaching the enemy, the altitude must be reduced to 800 meters, and at the same time the simple cpД-5m radar rangefinder and infrared scanning equipment will be turned on, and the rocket launch nest will be energized and will be in a firing state at all times.

After the flight, the altitude is reduced to 500 meters, then the lever is pressed, the dive is entered, the location of the opponent's armored vehicle is covered with the halo of the optical sight in front of the cabin, the launch switch is pressed, and then the upward detachment is carried out.

Since the Su-20 is a single-seat attack aircraft, the workload of one person is very large, and several switches have to be flipped repeatedly.

The pilots were concentrating on preparing for an attack route, and in the sky, the slightest hesitation would fly a distance of several kilometers, and they would have to make three turns to fly back and repeat the attack again.

Two brigades, in groups of four planes, according to the flying squadron, emerged from the clouds.

"Attention, air strike!" There was a terrifying voice over the radio.

In this sound, the anti-aircraft fire of all combat vehicles, began to shoot.

At the top of the Chieftain tank, there is a L37A1 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine gun that can be aimed and fired in the car, and the M113 armored car also has a 12.7mm Browning M2HB machine gun mounted on the commander's control tower, with a horizontal firing range of 360 ° and a high and low firing range of -21 ° ~ +53 °, which can be used for anti-aircraft shooting, but for attack aircraft flying at low altitude and high speed, the combat effectiveness of these two machine guns is almost negligible.

The only thing that can pose a little threat to the opponent's aircraft is probably the M163 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, at this time, its 6-barreled 20-mm machine guns are constantly firing into the air, in a vain attempt to stop the opponent's attack.

This can almost be considered a well-equipped Iranian armored division, which is not equipped with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, otherwise, it would have been a remnant for a while.

And now, the battle can almost be described as one-sided.

As long as the attack aircraft in the sky lowers its head, there will be tongues of fire erupting from under the wings, and then, there will be countless explosion points on the ground, 240 mm rockets, the power is amazing, as long as one shot hits the chief, the top cover of the chief will be penetrated, even if it hits the thickest armor in front, the armor is not penetrated, and the fire ignited will also roast the crew inside into roast chicken.

A flying squadron, keenly spotting the strongest fire on the ground, was precisely a dozen M113 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns interspersed in the middle of the M163 armored car.

The squadron leader immediately gave the order and dived to attack here.

Four Su-20s, under heavy anti-aircraft fire on the ground, flew down.

At this time, the self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery company on the ground found that he was being targeted, but he had no other way, even if he started the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun quickly, in just a dozen seconds, he could only move a short distance, and he could not dodge the planes and rockets flying in the air at all.

That can only be one way: hard-hitting!

The 6-barreled 20-mm cannon is constantly bombarding the opponent's attack route, and as long as the opponent shoots out the opponent before the rocket is fired, he will be safe.

Who knows, this time the Su-20 plane did not dive, and I saw a flash of fire under the wings, and this time it was launched a Black Bull air-to-ground missile!

In order to defeat this sudden attack of the armored division, the Basra Military District took out all kinds of advanced things, including the treasure-like Black Bull missiles.

In fact, the surname of the Black Bull missile has long been backward, it is the first miniaturized air-to-surface missile imported from the Soviet Union, with a range of only 20 kilometers, and it uses artificial radio command guidance, but in any case, this kind of missile is more advanced than uncontrolled rockets.

Looking at the missiles flying from under the wing of the Su-20, the 6-barreled machine gun fired fierce flames again, but they were not aiming at the opponent's plane, but at the incoming missiles.

There is still a certain chance to hit missiles with rapid-fire antiaircraft guns, and the key point depends on how the fire control system reacts.

I saw that among the tongues of fire that erupted, several missiles hit the flying missiles, and the missiles exploded directly in the air, saving the danger from danger.

However, there were still a few missiles that got into the stomach of the M163, and suddenly, these combat vehicles exploded, igniting a raging fire.

The self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery company had not yet recovered from its composure, and this time, the opposing side fired rockets again.

Completely defenseless, because the 6-barreled 20-mm anti-aircraft gun could not be fired indefinitely, it had to take a short break, and when the missile was intercepted just now, it had been too long, which caused the barrel to overheat, and as soon as it stopped, the opponent's rockets had already flown over.

Some of the commanders of the Iraqi Air Force were able to be flexible in the specific tactical details.

This time, no more than five self-propelled anti-aircraft guns remained.

It was a morning that Rajavi would never forget, just a dozen minutes earlier, when he had been directing the self-propelled howitzers in the back, firing at the Iraqi tank brigade blocking him, trying to break through a major road to the Karon River.

Who knows, feng shui takes turns, just now he was attacking, and then, it became the opponent's attack.

At this moment, the sky is almost full of Iraqi planes, Rajavi's armored divisions, which have been hit by extermination.

At this time, the 35th Armored Brigade only needs to sit on the side and watch the excitement, but now it can't attack, those brothers in the sky, I'm afraid they can't distinguish between the enemy and us, and if they get too close, it will be too cost-effective to even kill themselves.

After a while, when the Muslim brothers in heaven have finished doing it, they will go up again, and they will be able to calmly seize the spoils of war.

The Air Force only had to fight, and it couldn't come down to reap the results in person, so this benefit had to be given to the 35th Armored Brigade, which they deserved, after all, yesterday's battle caused the 35th Armored Brigade to suffer heavy losses.

Everyone is flesh and blood, there will be fear and fear, and while constantly being destroyed by the plane on their heads, the morale of the Iranian servicemen has finally been reduced to the extreme.

There was no point in attacking again, and some of the soldiers finally began to flee shamefully.

Some of the armored vehicles on the periphery had turned their heads around and fled the way they came.

"Bastard, attack, only if you attack, you can survive, do you want to escape, can you escape the other party's plane?" Rajavi shouted over the radio and ordered the attack to continue.

However, it is useless, part of the soldiers, who have lost their minds, and the war is easy to drive people crazy.

At this time, the fighters in the sky finally flew away, and the Su-20 attack aircraft and the MiG-21, due to lack of fuel, began to return home, leaving only two MiG-25s, which were still holding on.

"Brothers, it's time for us to get to work." Muhammad shouted.

The soldiers jumped on tanks and armored vehicles, ready to attack, and this time, not as tragic as yesterday, they will go and capture each other in the posture of victors.

At this moment, the sound of a helicopter's propeller was heard in the sky, and the hind finally stepped onto the stage.

The entire rout of the Iranian armored division is just around the corner.
